Itchy...

I know everyone wants to know how he is doing... It is very busy here at work this morning and I will not have time to post again till lunch.

Itchy is not doing well. His decline is becoming very rapid. I am not vet, but I do not believe he will make more than a fw days to 2 weeks if we are very lucky. He no longer has the energy or want to play in the house and has been sleeping pretty much only now.

I made an emergancy vet appointment for noon today as his is very badly dehydrated and needs fluids. They will give him the fluids he needs then and after work Donna and I will go to learn how to do it ourselves and they will supply us with the needles and fluid supplies.


I doubt he will live long enough to try the treatment I spoke of, but I am praying with all my heart and soul he does. The pain now is

I am so very sorry David. I know how hard it is to lose a furkid. It may seem like you will never recover, but you will and you will then remember all the good times you had with him. He has been fighting for so long now, his body is weak, and he may not have much fight left in him. That is okay, he has been around much longer than was at first expected, he has lived a good life and he may just be tired now of fighting. I will continue to keep you all in my prayers.

((((David)))), I will be keeping you and ((((Itchy)))) in my thoughts and prayers. May you find strength and peace to help you through this trying time.


There is no easy way to prepare for the possible passing of our cherished pets, but I hope it will help to know there are others who understand and care.

Jackcatmac posted a note to me on homepages,it is just like my story and it made me feel so much better with what I did.

Dear David,


I understand your pain. Just waiting for the inevitable moment that you dread. Wishing you could turn back time and that you could take their suffereing upon yourself. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I pretty much was like you, just talking and telling them how much I loved them. I cried buckets as well and even now can still cry uncontrollably over their loss. (Baby has been 8 months, Molly has been 6 months) I will pray for the strength to deal with everything and that Itchy will let you know when he needs to visit his friends at the bridge. I wish I had more words to comfort. Just please know that I understand your sorrow you are going through and are facing. The pet bereavement board has been such a strong support and they helped me through so much. Time is the only thing that can help heal your soul.


Itchy: I wish you well as you continue to fight and if you feel as if you need to rest, your friend David will be there to listen. He loves you very much and he will always love you. My heart is breaking as you all have been through so much. Headbutts and kisses from Chloe and Sammy. Angel kisses from ^molly^ and ^baby^.

David,

I haven't been on this site for ages except to lurk every now and then, but I visit the CoolCyberCats site weekly to read up on the journals. I was hoping to find you still posting here.

I'm so very sorry to hear about Itchy's decline. Your April journal entry had me in tears just now - my heart is aching for you and Donna. I wish I knew what to say to comfort you in some way...Hopefully knowing that Itchy knows his life has been happy and full of love, free of fear, hunger and pain, will make it somewhat easier to let go when it's time.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Bama (Susan)
